Drake Sadler didn't found Traditional Medicinals so much as he believes it found him. In this deeply personal conversation, Drake reflects on what it means to build a company whose purpose transcends the individual — and why success can be as much a burden as a gift. Raised by two entrepreneurial parents and shaped by a life-threatening event in the late 1980s, Drake has spent decades asking one foundational question: what happens to this company if I'm gone? That question set in motion a remarkable ownership journey — from gifting equity to his management team, to putting an ESOP in place, to gifting shares to the company's non-profit — working toward a structure that permanently anchors Traditional Medicinals to its purpose.

Selina DeLangre, Founder of Celtic Sea Salt, experienced a meteoric rise in sales and felt it was time to bring in a capital and operating partner — but it needed to be an aligned one. In this fireside chat, hear about her process finding and striking a partnership with a values-aligned capital partner, and how shared vision transformed what could have been a standard transaction into a strategic union that amplified the company's growth.

Whether raising growth equity or selling the business, these transactions aren't just financial — they're inflection points that can permanently affect a company's mission and future. Matt shares lessons learned navigating a capital raise and sale while stewarding Vital Farms' mission, in conversation with Big Path Capital CEO Michael Whelchel.
